Tools of the Trade

For all those taking this class next semester, I believe the best tip that I could give you is do your homework. The homework, is for the most part not hard at all and only occasionally takes more than 10 minutes. Forgetting to do homework can really hurt your grade in the long run also.

Everyone's Internet

I found it quit hard to find some peoples websites. As I put the names in correctly, it said the website was not found, so with the websites that I could view, I enjoyed these websites in no particular order. Lin Chen for her great use of color in the backgrounds that matched perfectly with her text and great pictures! I really liked the the About Me page. I can't wait till she gets up the rest of her photography. Ashley Conway's who also used her background contrasts very well. I also really like her photography. All her image maps and postcards looked very professional, and my favorite picture is the sun set over Long Pond in Cape Cod. I also enjoyed Jeanna's for her creativity, which of course is always pleasant. I really liked her newspaper art. It was very cool, and her set up was nice. Went well with her website.

HTML Why?

Even though the new technology does not require one to know the HTML code, if you know the code, it can help immensley. Many reasons that one should still have basic knowledge of HTML is because if Expressions Web or Dreamweaver has made a mistake somewhere on your webpage, you must be able to look at the code to try and make the fix. HTML allows you to look at the page source and visualize what the webpage should look like. Knowing HTML helps a great deal also in being able to look at other webpages and take ideas from the other pages that you like and add them to your page.

Present Your Future

The power points in class where very well presented and made. It was a tough pool of applicants but I chose Meghan's as one of my class favorites. I really enjoyed her power point because it had a great flow of information. Her presentation was very well done and extremely informative. I especially liked the link to the NASA website. She had a nicely made background, and her slides where well represented without much clutter. My other class favorite was a little tougher to decide on, but I think Jeanna's power point was my next favorite. Her creativeness in her slides helped spark interest, and the presentation just kept me listening. I really enjoyed how passionate she was about becoming a Postal worker, and it showed through her presentation. I also liked the finishing touch she put on it with the animation. Both were great presenters.
